Pilates History

This physical fitness system was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. As of 2005, there were 11 million people who practiced this method regularly and there were approximately 14,000 instructors in the U.S.A.

Pilates names his method of exercise Contrology as he believed that his Pilates Method used one's mind to control the body's muscles.

The program's main focus is on the core postural muscles. These help to keep the body balanced, and these muscles also help to provide support for the spine.

Pilates exercises make a person aware of breath and the alignment of the spine. An emphasis is also placed on strengthening the deep torso muscles which are so important in helping to alleviate and prevent back pain.

Joseph Pilates first formed this method during World War I in an effort to improve the rehabilitation program that would be needed by many of the returning veterans.

He believed that physical and mental health are essential to each other. His precise movements emphasized form and control to help the injured soldiers regain their health by stretching, strengthening and stabilizing key muscles.

-The Pilates Principles- were created by Joseph Pilates to condition the entire body which includes proper alignment, concentration, precision, flowing movement, centering, control and breathing.

You can expect a Pilates session to help increase strength and flexibility, align the spine and lengthen the body. The Pilates method does not build muscle mass.

The fields of rehabilitation and fitness encourage Pilates for its focus on the lower back muscles as well as those of the abdomen.

Welcome,

Let me tell you a little about myself. I am not a naturally lean guy, in fact I put on weight just breathing. I have been beating my head against a number of walls trying to get anywhere near a lean/mean shape but have always remained.… the politest word I can think of is round...

But that has all changed having gone from a soft 38 inch waist to a rotund 42inch waist and I am now on my way back to a firm 36 inches, I doubt I will ever have the well defined six pack that David Beckham sports but I can see my toes and best of all I feel confident in my own body.

However there has been one drawback... I have had to buy a new wardrobe, but believe me the improvement in my health more than compensates for it. .How did I do it? Simple I followed a revolutionary new program.

It all started when I was going to the gym(again) and realised that Susan had gone from being really overweight to a slim sexy figure…. You know the one where you can tuck your shirt into your belt and not feel self conscious about the rolls hanging over it like a muffin top.What really killed me is she never seemed to do any sit ups. I think I have done so many sit-ups that if I was paid a cent for every one I have done I would have paid of the entire Third World Debt.

I decided she was cheating and her genetics were the answer, after all that had to be the reason - my shape was the result of my genes. Why else would I be a prisoner in my own body?? Why else would I lurk around the edge of the pool claiming a sunburn sensitive skin rather than take my shirt of. Then I discovered an amazing fact the best ab exercise is NO ab exercise…

That’s right if you train your abs to much you strengthen them but they are hidden under the layers of fat.. We have all experienced it getting into a state of overtraining where you just want to give up as you aren’t getting the results you feel you should be getting and you question the sanity of what you are doing.

I started this new program and boy did it change my life…. Here are some of the things it has shown me - 1) Not all health foods like Whole Wheat and Soy Milk are useful in achieving my goals 2) The infomercials on Ab Machines might give you a nice jiggle but not a lot else 3) Despite what your trainer says you don’t have to hammer the cardio equipment for 10 hours a week to show progress there are simpler ways to getting lean. 4) Fat Burning Pills don’t work, even if they have Extract Of Llama Musk.... It’s not going to give you the sexy flat stomach you want.

If you want to turn into a lean mean XXX machine (substitute what ever image you want for the XXX) then try this new system. It goes beyond the work outs and the food recommendations, it trains your mind into a Fitness Lifestyle that ensure you don’t have to struggle with unhealthy eating patterns or motivation.

Now is the time to dump your fat clothes and get ready for the shape you deserve…. Go on give his system a try. What do you have to lose apart from those extra pounds!!!! And you can gain a whole new wardrobe….
